On To The Fantastic Final Four!
The March Madness 2013 has come down to this – The Final Four. Yes, the Final Four teams remaining from the great race that began with 68-teams on March 19th. Sixty four teams began the quest, the dream, the hustle plays, the blocked shots, big 3-pointers to win and advance and alas, the heartaches and… Continue reading On To The Fantastic Final Four!
The Streaking ‘Heat’ Stopped by the Bulls
The Miami Heat 27-game win streak has officially been derailed. The 1971-1972 Los Angeles Lakers record of 33-straight is safe. The Wednesday night match-up with the Chicago Bulls was another hard fought game that favored more of a football game between the Miami Dolphins vs. the Chicago Bears at times. With LeBron James being literally… Continue reading The Streaking ‘Heat’ Stopped by the Bulls
What Does Easter Mean To You?
Happy Easter! But what does Easter mean to you? There are so many that believe Easter has something to do with a Bunny Rabbit that lay eggs for us to hide and hunt for; or jelly beans and chocolate bunnies that are crème filled and full of calories and the fulfillment of a sweet tooth… Continue reading What Does Easter Mean To You?
Violence Against Women’s Act Unawareness At UNC
It seems like the Violence Against Women’s Act was re-signed so very long ago. President Obama signed this important legislation into law on March 7th in which many are hoping will curb attacks against women nationally. We could only hope. But at the University of North Carolina, it appears they are unaware of such legislation… Continue reading Violence Against Women’s Act Unawareness At UNC
Bracket Busted and Disgusted!
Well, it’s officially over…for me that is. My March Madness 2013 Brackets are as ugly as ugly can be. I’m sitting on 32 out of 48 correct or 32 and 16. The key culprits for my demise – #15 Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU) and #13 LaSalle. FGCU is playing some of the best basketball… Continue reading Bracket Busted and Disgusted!
March Madness – ‘Brackets Busted’
I Love March Madness 2013! It’s just as I predicted, unpredictable. What I didn’t predict was some early upsets. Did anyone have #2 Seed New Mexico losing to #14 Seed Harvard (President Obama’s Alma Mater) in the West Region showdown? I know I didn’t. Or how about in the East Region with #12 Seed California beating… Continue reading March Madness – ‘Brackets Busted’
The Madness Is Upon Us – College Basketball Style
Yes! It’s Here! March Madness 2013 – the Superbowl of College Basketball, will begin Thursday, March 21st, 2013 with 68-teams focusing on the biggest prize in the college ranks, that of National Champion! To be fair, there are several ‘Play-In’ games of smaller schools to actually get the opportunity to play against the #1 seeded teams… Continue reading The Madness Is Upon Us – College Basketball Style
The Death Penalty Debate – My Take
Corporal Punishment or ‘The Death Penalty’, has been a topic of national debate for years, especially on a state-by-state basis. Now, after eight years since its last execution, Maryland is planning to become the 18th state to abolish the ultimate punishment. Democratic Governor Martin O’Malley has been pushing for this legislation since his very first… Continue reading The Death Penalty Debate – My Take
The Brand New Same Old, Same Old – Ryan Plan
With a plate full of crises already looming in President Obama’s second term – North Korea’s nuclear threats, the Drone Program, domestic gun control and continued GOP obstructions on every front – the latest battle is an oldie and not a goodie. It appears Obamacare has resurfaced with a great wave of ‘pomp and circumstance’.… Continue reading The Brand New Same Old, Same Old – Ryan Plan
Senator Rand Paul, You Got Served!
Just when you thought this Drone debate couldn’t take any more twist and turns, you haven’t been paying attention to your United States Congress lately. For 13-hours, Sen. Rand Paul babbled on and on about the Obama Administrations position on the Drone Program and its possible effects on the American citizens rights. Sen. Paul even placed actress… Continue reading Senator Rand Paul, You Got Served!
Domestic Drone Attacks? Maybe One Day
It appears the debate on Drone attacks are really beginning to heat up, but not where you’d expect. No, not internationally, but domestically… right here in the Good ol’ US of A. Now before you get all flustered and began pulling out the ‘registered’ Oozy’s you just purchased at your friendly neighborhood gun show, listen… Continue reading Domestic Drone Attacks? Maybe One Day
